The groceryman stood there, almos

there was a terrible row. The farmer
threatened to have the groceryman ar
rested for receiving stolen property
and to hush it up tho groceryman paid
him 500 and gave him back the melons
Jimmie saw the whole transaction, and
when the money was paid, and while
the groceryman was putting the melons

from behind the boxes and out of the
back door and up the cross-road, and
ran back to the farmers before be reach

when the farmer drove up Jimmie
greeted him with smiles, and said he
was glad he'd got his melons back. The
farmer told him he was a good, honest
boy, and would become great man.
Then Jimmie walked to the barn with
the farmer and told him he wanted four
melons and $50. The farmer looked
aghast; but it was no use. Jimmie said
he had heard the whole transaction with
the groceryman, and if he didn't get
the four melons and the $50 he would
have the farmer arrested for compound
ing felony, and would show it was a
put up job on the groceryman- So the
farmer paid Jimmie the $50 and gave
him the four melons. That night jim

found out by the tracks they made in
the cornfeld, and that he had saved
them all from State Prison by compro-

the farmer believed they had been put

And SO the boys went with Jimmie
and ate the melon, aud thanking him,
they all went home, believing Jimmie
to be the best boy among them. And
that same night Jimmie took to his own
house three big watermelons. Since
that night Jimmie has grown to man

The Three oldest Towns" in the United
States

st. Augustine, Fla, founded in 1865, is
put down in the school histories as the oldest
town in the United States but Sante Fe, N.
NJ, claims existence since 1862, and now
comes third competitor, viz: Tubac, Pima
county, Arizona. The probate judge of
Pima county recently applied at the local
land office to have quarter section added to
the present township site, 'for the reason as
the petition states, that the above portion of
land contains nearly all of the residence por-
tion and principal buildings of the town, in.
cluding the church, burying ground, and his
torical and other associations connected with
the town, the same being highly priced by
the inhabitants, the town being the third old
est in the United States, its history running
back to $780, The petition then goes on to
say that by some oversight of the United
States surveyor who laid ont the town the
land was thrown open to settlement and 'one
Bernardino Valenzuela, an illiterate, igno-
rant Mexican, an outspoken enemy of our
race, and who has but taken out his first
papers of citizenship fled his claim to it,

vent patent issuing to this man, it will
work great hardship, loss, and detriment to
the inhabitants of what we believe to be the

tanned $4,000 inhabitants, and was the capi-
tai of the then Pspagueria Country of the

Two Blind Men

There was once in Rome two blind
men, one of whom cried in the streets
of the city, He is helped whom God
helps;" the other, on the contrary, cried,
"He is helped whom the Emperor
helps" This they did every day, and
the Emperor heard it SO often that he
had loaf of bread baked, filed with
gold pieces.
This filed loaf he sent to the blind
man who appealed to the Emperor's
help. When he felt The heavy weight
of the bread he sold it to the other
beggar as soon as he met him. The
blind man who bought the bread car
ried it home. When he had broken it
and found the gold he thanked God,
and from that day ceased to beg. But
the other, continuing to beg through
the city, the Emperor summoned him
to his presence and asked him, "What
hast thou done with the loaf that I
lately sent you?"
Il sold it to my friend because it was
heavy and did not seem well risen"
Then the Emperor said, 'Truly he
whom God helps is helped indeed" and
turned the blind man from him.-Kind

Perpetuating National Banks.

IL is not a subject for discussion that the
best currency ever adopted by any natior
since history began is the United States Ma
tional Bank currency. Those'who most Wig,
orousiy fought its adoption from the very
inception of it till the greenback craze died 6
natural death now acknowledge its perfec-
ton. To perpetuate it and make it the cur
rency Of the future, Senator Farwell, of Hi
nois, will, at his earliest opportunity, intro>
duoe bill providing for the acceptance at
the National Treasury of collateral securities
other than those of the National Government.
The Senator realizes that the United States
bonds are rapidly being redeemed and that
the time is therefore not far distant when the
circulation of the banks must be protected in
some other way than that at present in
vogue. To this end his bill provides that
National Banks, now in existence and here
after to be organized, can present as securi>
ties any State, municipal or first mortgage
railroad bonds of the United States upon
which interest has heretofore been promptly
paid and whose market or cash value is equal
to or greater than their par value and bearing
interest at rate of not less than four per
cent per annum.
Municipal and State bonds are not to be re-
ceived by the United States Treasurer at
more than 40 per cent of their par value,
while first mortgage railroad bonds are not to
be received at more than so per cent of their
par value, and their total is not to exceed
S5OO,OOO,OOO.
All State, municipal and railroad bonds
thus used as collateral must first receive the
Endorsement both of the Secretary Of the
Treasury and the Comptroller of the Treasu-
ry and the Comptroller of the Currency.
The following in the concluding section
will show that the emergency of bank fail
ure has been carefully considered:
Whenever the Comptroller has become sat-
isfied by the protest or the waiver and admis-
sion specified in Section 6, 1926 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States, or by the re-
port provided for in Section 5,227 of the Re-
vised Statutes of the United States, that any
association has refused TO pay its circulating
notes, he may, instead of canceling its bonds,
cause so much of them as may be necessary
to redeem its outstanding notes, to be sold at
public auction in the city of New York, after |
giving 80 days notice of such sale to the as
or he may, in his discretion, pro-
ceedin the name of United States of America, |
in the proper Circuit Court of the United |
States, to collect such bonds as fast as they
shall mature. For any deficiency in the pro-
ceeds of all bonds of an association when |
thus sold or collected to reimburse the United |
States the amount expended in paying the |
notes of the association the United |
States shall have paramount lien upon all |
its assets in preference to any and all other
claims whatsoever, except the necessary costs
and expenses Of administering the same.

The Great Issue of 1888 Defined.

The Great Issue of 1888 Defined
After delivering a stump speech il
favor of the principles of absolute free
trade President Cleveland endeavors tc
relieve popular apprehension to some
extent by saying that owing to the
financial needs of the government it is
impossible to abolish the tariff entirely
at this time. This qualification will
not have very quieting effect, how
ever, for the message as whole puts
the administration squarely on record
as being opposed to all protection Of
American industries and as being COM
mitted to the policy of substantial free
trade whenever the finances of the gov
ernment permit its adoption.
The producers of this country are
now menaced with the danger of a
Democratic President, a Democratic
Cabinet, and a Democratic House OF
Representatives firmly united upon a
free trade policy. The little handful
of protection Democrats in the House
are impotent in the face of the over
whelming free trade majority which
confronts them. The only hope of pre-
venting revolution and disaster to the
industries of the nation is the meager
Republican majority in the Senate.
The issue is fairly joined for 1888.
1t will be simple and well-defned.
There can be no misunderstanding it.
The Republican party will be unit in
supporting protection, and the Demo-
cratic party almost as solid in opposing
it. There can be no pretenses in the
future in regard to the position of the
Democratic party respecting this issue.
The frequently made assertion of the
Independents that there is no differ
ence between the parties in regard to
present issues has been deprived of
what little force it may have had. The
issue is squarely made between protee-
ton and free trade, and the Republi-
cans welcome it.-Clev. Leader,

Hard tn Beat.

About the meanest swindie we have heard
of yet is reported from Mexican county. At
mill where great many lumbermen stop
to feed their teams, is long feed box. An
old farmer drove up to the mill last week
with load of grain to be ground. After
unloading, he took his team to the feed box,
threw III half a bushel of oats, and went into
the mill. In few minutes he had occasion
to go to the wagon for bag and found the
team paving the ground as if they were hun
CRY. On examination he was surprised to
find the feed box empty, although the horses
had time to eat half the feed he had given
them. Investigation showed that the trough
had false bottom and when the horses put
their noses down and pressed against it the
oats ran into box below from which, by an
ingenious continuance. they were conveyed
to the mill. This beats the prOverbial green
spectacle and shaving dodge.

Bread on the Water.

At arecent Wednesday evening lecture
DR.. Paxton told an interesting incident
in the career of Simon Cameron, of
Pennsylvania. He said that when he
was stationed at Washington, Cameron
came to him one day and said:
Ny young preacher, 1 want you to
preach sermon from the text Cast
your bread upon the waters and it will
return four-fold after many days."
In explaining therequest, the veteran
Pennsylvania politician said that when
he was young man he met young
lumberman who was bemoaning his i'll
luck in having his raft of timber laid
up by the low water. The man was
surrounded by some operators who were
trying to secure the drift for mere
song
Cameron asked the young fellow,
whose namew Hahnemann,if if he could
not hold the logs until the freshets
came.
Il have not cent in the world" was
the reply, 'and these men are trying to
squeeze me. I don't know what to do,
IOf am ruined"
Young fellow, you are not ruined"
answered Cameron. "Come with me to
my bank and 1 will hold your lumber
and loan you all the money you need at
the legal interest"
The young lumberman was rescued
and Gen. Cameron lost sight of him.
''It was not many years ago." the aged
Senator continued in telling the story,
"and I was not an old man, but when l
wanted to be United States Senator I
met with sturdy opposition. I learned
that there was man in the lumber dis
tricts who had great influence and con-
trolled tho legislative delegation from
that part of the State. I went to see
him. His name was Hahnemann, and
taking my men orandum book with me.
[ thought 1 would recall the lumber in
cident. The man was too young to be
the one I had casually assisted, but
learned from him that he had succeed
ed his father.
'The young man did not know much
of his fathers experience, but conversed
with his mother and then returned to
the hotel to see me. He said his moth
er was anxious to see the man who had
put his father on his feet if he could be
found. 1 told the Young merchant that
was the man and he grasped me by
the hand, said he was opposed to me
politically, but hoped 1 would win.
"That's how L first became United
States Senator. 1 cast my bread upon
the waters and it returned to me four
fold.-New York World.

What He Threv Awav.

An Albany gentleman some years ago did
business for parties in Chicago. They
failed and all they offered in payment of
their account was q piece of wild land in
South Chicago. The account was about $500
and the deed of the land was accepted. In
vestigation disclosed that the land was in
swamp and apparently of no present or pros>
pective value. After paying taxes on it for
several years the Albany holder finally aban-
doned it and it was doubtless sold for non
payment of taxes. Not long ago while Wis
iting Chicago the gentleman looked up the
property and to his amazement and disgust
discovered that it was in the most valuable
part of South Chicago and that had he re-
tanned it he would have been worth at least
